Deafheaven sucks, like Urban Outfitters if they had a metal label.
Hey now Sunbather has a few good ones despite being kinda mainstream
I went to school with two of those dorks from Deafheaven, me and my friends made fun of them so bad they got mad and got their asses kicked by the weakest dude in our group that band fucking sucks.
Deafheaven and the whole metalgaze thing is extremely lame. However if someone is into it when they’re young I feel they deserve a pass because it’s musically extremely similar to all the embarrassing screamo and post-rock I listened to when I was a teenager in the early 00s (just with more blast beats). Now if they don’t grow out of it by age 30 or so, that’s extremely cringe.
And regarding Metallica? First four records are sick af but if they’re too soft for some people, I can dig it. There were a lot of gnarlier bands doing more “extreme” thrash around the same time, give or take a few years, like Slayer, Possessed, Sodom, Kreator, Destruction, Sadus, etc
